The Dynamite Platinum 086 is a good pipe for the Go tech 3 port or for a little extra money a Go Tech 2047 would be good too.

As far as plugs are concerned, OS P3 or P4 turbo plugs work great.

i run the p8 cold plugs, everyone is always "ah not a cold plug, throw a hot one in there, cold plugs suck, blah blah", and the motor flys, idles great, and the plugs last a long time. motor is never over 230, 225-230 is the sweet spot.

Cold plugs last longer to, all the temp plug is for is timing, and you can shim it to adjust for that, if i works run it

DS

so which plug is better the p3, p4, or p8

i am totally confused when it comes to engines. what is the difference between the 3 port race engine and the 5 port engine? doesnt the 3 port race engine have 5 ports(3port+2)? i understand that the 5 port has a better lower end and the 7 port has a higher top end but what does the 3 port race version offer? thank you for your time.

SManMTB

Only intake ports are counted.

gizmatron

the +2 is the transfer ports...generally speaking fewer ports means higher torque but less top end power..this is only a general guide though as tuning and pipe choice can also shape the power band of any 2 stroke engine...4 stroke engines do the same thing with more or less valves...I run both a GO 7 port and a 3 port R spec both with a massive mods stage 5 tune...there isn't much difference until you hit a long straight then the 7 port pulls harder and longer than the 3 port...it also sucks more fuel so slightly shorter run times..you don't get something for nothing there..I have to run 1.1mm clutch springs for the 7 port as well or it bogs slightly..the 3 port runs fine with 1.0mm so the 7 port is making its power slightly higher up the rev range ..haven't tried a standard 3 port so not sure how much difference mark's tuning has made but both my engines are very very fast.....

so could i win club races with the go 3 port racing engine. i currently have a mach 427 in my losi 8ight rtr and want to upgrade. i just want to get an engine that is good nothing great, one that will keep up with the others. the mach does very well but it goes through fuel so fast.

You can be very competitive with the Go Tech 3 port race engine.

How would the 7 port race motor work in my Inferno GT for on-road racing?

Is there enough torque to pull it out of corners with authority?

Also, how do you identify the Gen 5 version? I'm trying to verify who's actually shipping this version now. AMain couldn't tell me for sure, only that they had a recent shipment from the Dist.

And last, have they finally cured the carb leaking issues with the Gen 5 motor?

Tree1

The easiest wat to tell if it is a new Gen 5 is to check the logo on the engine heasd. It should have the new 6 sided Go logo. If the logo looks like a tire than it is an older version.

DS

Which go engine should i get, the go tech 5 port or the go tech 7 port for a truggy.

* What dynamite pipe?
* What clutch shoes , springs, and fly wheel?

here is a vid of my tracks if you need help deciding if the 7 or 5 is better for me

5 port for Truggy, with the Dynamite 053 pipe, should be a pretty good all round package

Get the Kyosho clutch, they really are worth it, check out ebay for a clutch from a parted out new kit

Tree1

5 port with a Dynamite 086 pipe is a great combination for your truggy. I run aluminum shoes with 1.0 springs.

DS

not alot of people use the 7 port, how come it won the nationals in a crt. Well which pipe 086 or 053

Tree1

The 053 is a low to mid pipe. The 086 is a mid to top end pipe. I feel that the Go Tech 5 port turbo has enough torque that it does not need the 053 pipe. If you want more torque, you can tune your clutch set-up by using heavier aluminum shoes or 1.1 springs or you could run smaller clutch bells.

DS

is the 5 port just as good as the jammn jpx .21??

slayerphonics

I think the jammin .21 is what i would spend my money on,

but if i picked go, I would go with the 5 port

DS

DS

Will the go tech 3 port race push my st-rr around for racing and be relly competative with a 007 pipe to help bottom??I heard some people are using them in there rc8t and k8t's and really like them. Where is the 3 port best, midrange, bottom, or top, or all around?

dragon2k2

What is the diff. in th go 5 port with the silver head and the the go 5 port with the black head?

Tree1

The new Go Tech 5 port with the black head is modified by EB Mods. Rumor has it that the modified EB Mods Go Tech 5 port with be sold for around $300.00 range.
